Hello all,
What I want to do: launch seperate python programs from one main
program (multi-threading will not achieve this because the mechanize
library uses one shared global opener object which will not suit my
needs) I want the scripts launched to be in seperate windows that i
can see the output of on screen, seperate processes. I can accomplish
this in win32 by:
import subprocess;
args = ["cmd", "/c", "START", "python", "myScript.py"];
process1 = subprocess.Popen(args, shell=False);
however, doing will open a new window, but will lose the process id:
e.g. process1.poll() will always return 0 no matter if the process is
open or not, meaning that python always thinks its closed.
It should return None if the process is still running.
I can do it without using cmd /c start, but then the newly launched
python script is trapped in my original cmd terminal where i launched
the script from in the first place. I can keep track of the process
now, but the one cmd window open is insufficient to keep track of the
output that a multitude of programs running will produce. Doing it
without the /c argument will still keep the new script in the same
console.
Yes, I have read I can do this in linux with Konsole or whatever like:
child = subprocess.Popen("konsole -e python foo.py", shell=True)
however, I need this to run in windows.
Any help or solution is appreciated,
